McCarthy scattered four hits and allowed one earned run for the win. In a 16-hit attack for L-S (16-1, 15-0 DCL), Matt Miller went 2-for-2 with two RBI, Jack Laurendeau went 3-for-3 with an RBI, and Mike Wilson went 2-for-3 with three RBI. In addition, sophomore third baseman Justin Quinn hit his third homer in two games with a solo blast in the second inning.

Wayland (10-9) scored a run in the first and L-S came back to tie it in its half of the inning. L-S took the lead for keeps with a run in the second and two in the third to make it 4-1.

Wayland visits Boston Latin tomorrow.

L-S hosts Boston Latin on Saturday morning and plays Hopkinton at Milford's Fino Field later in the afternoon in the Daily News Classic.

Acton-Boxboro 4, Boston Latin 0

Scott Weisman had a commanding performance, striking out 11 in a complete-game shutout victory over Boston Latin.

Weisman only gave up three hits, two of which were infield singles. Chase Caldwell had a strong game on offense for the Colonials, going 2-for-3 with an RBI. A-B (9-9, 8-7 DCL) hosts Chelmsford tomorrow.

Brookline 5, Framingham 4 (10 inn.)

Paul O'Neill's RBI double in the eighth inning drew Framingham even with Brookline at 4-4, but the Flyers eventually fell in 10 to host Brookline.

Luis Rodriguez and Nathan Tardiff also had RBI singles for Framingham (12-7, 10-6 BSC), while Mike Rafferty gutted his way to a complete-game effort, striking out two and allowing just five hits.

Framingham hosts Mansfield today in its regular-season finale.

Milton 8, Natick 0

Milton blanked Natick in Bay State Conference action and knocked the visiting Redmen from tournament contention in the process.

Natick (6-11, 5-10) highlights were few and far between. Junior reliever Jeff Atwood came into a bases-loaded jam. He got out of it unscathed by inducing a fly ball to short right field for the second out and striking out a batter for the third out.

The Redmen will host Brookline today (3 p.m.).

Holliston 4, Medfield 1

Dan Vasilauskas pitched a complete-game seven hitter and Holliston kept its playoff hopes alive with a home Tri-Valley League win over Medfield.

Vasilauskas struck out six and allowed just an RBI single to Medfield's Brian Iafolla in the fifth inning. Grady Capobianco, Mike Silverstein and Mike Healy each drove in runs for Holliston (8-10, 8-9 TVL).

The Panthers must win their final two games to qualify for the tournament, starting at Oliver Ames today.

Dover-Sherborn 8, Medway 3

Tom Miklavic pitched a complete game to lead Dover-Sherborn over Medfield in each team's final game of the season.

Every member of the Dover-Sherborn lineup had at least one hit, with Glen House leading the way with a 2-for-3 performance. Derek Zahka and Joe Bliss each contributed triples for the Mustangs, who finish their season at 3-15. Dover-Sherborn finishes at 8-12.

Westwood 2, Ashland 1

A bases-loaded, hit-by-pitch in the bottom of the seventh sent Westwood home with a hard-fought Tri-Valley League victory over Ashland.

Barrett O'Neill tossed a solid game for the Clockers, striking out eight in a complete game. Mike Capobianco also did well on offense for Ashland, contributing a double. Ashland (8-9) looks to get back to .500 when it travels to Hopkinton today.

Holbrook 17, Tri-County 1

Chad Tedesco hit his second double in two games, but it wasn't enough for host Tri-County in a Mayflower Small loss to Holbrook.

Holbrook (15-3) collected five doubles of its own and a total of 13 hits off Tri-County's (3-15, 3-11 Mayflower) pitching staff of Tedesco and Mike Gouthro. Pitching however was not the biggest problem for Tri-County, which committed seven errors in the game while only collecting four total hits.
